From March 2014there will be a linky box on7th of every month where you will be able to leave links to your tree following posts. Each box will stay open for one week. That way we will be able to keep roughly in time with each other and compare the progress of 'our' trees through the year.The box will open as (near as I can make it) at 7am UK Time.

If you don't have a blog but would like to join in all the sameyou can send your observations to be posted on 'Other People's Pictures'. (From March 2015 two pictures plus text per post per month.)

Each time a new box opens, links from the previous month can be found on a page issued by the gadget.

If you don't know what 'your' tree is, that's fine. You can still follow - 'the unknown tree'! - and maybe sometime through the year you'll find out - maybe someone will be able to help you with the ID.I do hope you will decide to join us -you can let me know by leaving a comment or emailing me at

Documenting the seasons of coastal Dorset. I'm a complete amateur and don't know a great deal. I try to be accurate but mistakes will creep in. Don't trust that I'm always right and if ever you see I'm wrong - whether with identifications or in anything else - do say!
